international forum for advancing the development and implementation of
Internet networks, technologies, applications, and policies.
The world's Internet leaders meet at INET conferences to exchange
experiences and shape the future of the Internet. INET attendees examine
strategic issues emanating from the Internet's impact on commerce and
finance, education, technologies and societies. INET 2000 presents a
strong technical program with all papers peer reviewed by industry
experts from around the world.
*WHO ATTENDS INET CONFERENCES:*
More than 2,000 decision-makers and networking professionals involved in
extending the use and reach of Internet networks in their organizations
or countries are expected to attend INET 2000. Their roles involve
nearly every aspect of the Internet's development and operations.
*KEYNOTE SPEAKERS:*
- John T. Chambers, President and CEO of Cisco Systems, Inc.
- Dr. Ken-ichi Ohmae, international management consultant and creator of
the framework of the borderless economy.
SUPER PANELS:
Super Panel #1: Open Source Movement
Launched in 1985 by Richard Stallman, (GNU), the free source code
movement has blossomed into a broad front of projects best exemplified
by the stunning success of Linux, the Unix-like kernel launched by Linus
Torvalds in 1991. It is now challenging Microsoft's Windows NT in the
server business and is poised to invade the desktop as well. Some call
Linux the Internet Operating System and this is twice true: it could not
have existed without the Internet and a lot of machines that are making
up the Internet run on Linux. Apache, another free source code software,
powers nearly half of all Internet servers in the world. This round
table Super Panel will discuss how these two communities are rapidly
merging into one that may be the real basis for the new net economy.
Super Panel #2: Next-Generation Internet Research Projects: What's New,
What's Next and What Works?
Late-breaking news from Next-generation Internet projects will be
presented. Panelists will address their current status, next step, and
what has led them to success.
Super Panel #3: The Future of the Internet Layer
As the Internet continues to grow, there are increasing stresses and
strains on some of its foundations, such as the original numeric
addressing space and the underlying assumption of transparent
communications. The expected arrival of millions of wireless devices,
and expansion to new, very populous regions of the world, will maintain
or increase these stresses for several decades to come. The Internet
technical community has been aware of this issue for at least seven
years and has carried out various studies and new developments including
Classless Interdomain Routing, Network Address Translation and IPv6. The
panel will discuss all this and more, and attempt to discern where we
are headed next.
